Sometimes A Camry Station Wagon Is Not A Camry Station Wagon

Despite the impossibly desperate spinning of the Toyota marketing people, this is not one of those times.

Seriously, does Toyota's credibility take any kind of hit for pretending that the Venza wagon is not, in fact, a wagon? Or that it's not a crossover; and it's not an SUV; but that it's "completely different," "an all-new class"?

At the very least, the Cadillac SRX and the Ford Taurus X mean the Venza's not even the first in the "I swear it's not a station wagon" category.

hmm.. just as ugly as a Dodge Magnum. Why can't people just accept the fact that wagons are a necessary evil (unlike the Hummer)? One of the best cars I ever owned was a Volvo V70. I also loved our Prius with it's 44.7mpg goodness. But with three kids (2 are school-aged an carry an ungodly amount of sporting equipment) it go too cramped. So it was back to a Volvo. Toyota should just give up the marketing campaign and realize that the right market is out there... God knows the mini-van has evolved.
